Meanwhile, Banerjee inaugurated a bouquet of projects worth Rs 100 crore and distributed several services to the beneficiaries under various schemes like Kanyashree, Yuvashree, Sikshashree, equipment to fishermen, Kisan and artisan credit cards, pattas and financial assistance for natural disasters, among others.

“To save the environment and to fight climate change, my government has planned a major campaign. By 2022, we want to generate 175 GW of renewable energy. In the last three years, we have already achieved 60 GW or around one-third of this target,” he said.
